Students CAN Prevent War
Why do we dislike fascism? Why do we prefer democracy?
Chiefly because democracy, we feel, expresses the will and needs
of the mass of people; because democracy does not dictate to the
people from a seat of omnipotent authority, but is a government of,
for, and by the people.
If this is not true, there is no reason to prefer the American sys
tem to fascism. If this is not true of Great Britain or France,
there is no reason to prefer their systems to fascism. Thus, when
we know, as we do from discussions in .Parliament, that horrible
atrocities are being committed on 350,000,000 people in India, seven
times the number of British citizens, to make them take part in a
war in which they had no voice and in which they have nothing to
gain, while their plea for democracy lias been Jblatantly refused,
we have the right to be skeptical about the much vuanted claims of
superiority of the British imperialistic system over fascism. And
when we learn from the French Chamber of Deputies that over 70
of its duly elected members were illegally expelled for opposing the
war, we can doubt the authenticity of their claims to the greatest
j humanitarian tradition of freedom and the right of thev people to
be heard. v
If it is not true that the voice of the people is the mandate of our
government, then why should we feel that we have a government
preferable to the fascist system? Yet this, apparently is what. a
surprising number among us feel today! Ask Bill Jones what he
thinks about the war. He'll say, "Of course I'm for peace, but it
looks like we're going in anyway." What is he actually saying?
He is saying that his will to peace, and the will to peace of 98 per
cent of the American people, according to polls, is going to have no
effect on the policies of our government. He is actually saying that
we do not have a government of, for, and by the people. He is ac
tually saying that we do not have a democracy !
If this is true, he would be fighting to save something that didn't
exist. But it is not actually true that the voice of the people has
no influence on our government. The Alsop and Kintner Ameri
can White Paper shows definitely that public sentiment has kept
the Roosevelt administration from making commitments to the
belligerents which would inevitably draw us into the war. This
factor alone is now operating to keep us out .
If we really believe in what we have been saying about democ
racy, and if we really believe that we have a democracy in America,
then let us make our voice effective in Washington and throughout
the nation. Let the 98 per cent who. are earnestly resolved for
peace make known their opposition to the steps now being sug
gested which must lead to war.
We, students, are the people! That is what we must realize.
Our expressions, our demonstrations, our rallies, our resolutions,
are the voice of the people of America. As such they will guide
the policies of a democratic government. Let us band together
and make known our desire to stay out of war. If we get in it will
be our own. fault for not taking a stand against war. Our Con
gressmen and Senators cannot ignore the opinion of 3,500 stu
dents. WE CAN ONLY STAY OUT OF WAR BY UNITED AC
TION AGAINST WAR. JOIN THE STUDENT PEACE MOVE
MENT AND HELP KEEP AMERICA OUT OF WAR.

Suggestions to Class Prexies
Following publication a few days ago of an editorial in which
the Daily Tar Heel called for better management of class finances,
several members of the senior class who have made a close study of
affairs in their class wrote some recommendations in letters to the
Daily Tar Heel and to the chairman of the Student legislature.
The time for consideration and action on these or any other recom
mendations is the present.
The first suggestion read: "Membership of a class executive
committee should be representative of the class as a whole, rather (
than being made up on the principle of the spoils system, as has
graham memorial
Yours to Hold
With a crack, a white celluloid ball
sails through space to be met with an
equally sharp smash from the sand
papered paddle across the table.
Across the room, another crack,
this time the crash of two balls,
marble-like in appearance, resounds
through the low-ceilinged game room.
In adjoining rpoms are a Grill and a
barber shop.
On the floor above is a large,
spacious lounge with new, up-to-date
magazines and newspapers scattered
over the tables, lounging chairs, and
broad window-sills. Surrounded by
paintings just short of life-size, the
main lounge is a beautiful place
where some people sleep, decline rest-
fully, or read startling articles in the
New Republic or the American Maga
zine (some of our more liberal friends
will hit the ceiling when they see
these two publications mentioned in
the same breath).
About 50 activities-bent men and
coeds rush about gathering up news
stories, and making five consecutive
meetings a night on the third and top
most floor. When not scurrying up-and
down stairways and in and out of one
room after another, they are usually
seen nonchalantly puffing on a Camel
with their feet on a desk or lazily re
clining on a sofa either in the main
lounge or in the director's office.
Students, this is your Graham Me
morial.
-
But, Look at This!
There are 3700 students on the
campus who quarterly pay a slew of
fees which includes an annual sum of
three dollars per capita for the main
tenance of Graham Memorial. Simple
mathematics will tell you that $11,000
of the students' money is being col
lected to keep up the ping-pong
tables, the pool tables, the lounges,
and the director.
But, if Bob Magill, this year's di
rector, is correct in his estimate, only
a . small fraction of the student body
uses the student union. Activities men
and a few stray students who might
casually drop by to pay their respects
to the student union are just about
the only people who derive benefits
from Graham Memorial.
Why?
One of the main causes of the lack
of patronage in Graham, Memorial,
according to those who supposedly
know, is that the building is out of
line with the trend of campus activity.
Another suggested reason is that
there is a lack of centralization of extra-curricular
activities under one
roof. But whatever the causes might
be, the fact remains that the major
ity of students today go from their
dormitories in the upper or lower
quadrangle to the new dining hall and
back again, with slight deviations to
class rooms, the picture show, and the
occurred in previous years." As they prepare to take office Mon
day night, new Class Presidents Hardy, Elliot and Hearn should
weigh this suggestion while considering appointments to class
committees. "Membership should consist of from 12 to 20 repre
sentative men, larger groups of 40 or more having proved un
wieldy," read the second recommendation. The class presidents
or the legislature, or both, may deal with this suggestion.
Two other points said: "The executive committee should be
forbidden to divert class funds to its own use. Class funds are
recognized as being collected for class use only"; and "the unal
lotted fund should not appear in the class budget." These con
crete suggestions are likewise dumped into the laps of the class
presidents and the legislature.
, The entire matter of class finances needs the close attention of
the new presidents and the incoming legislature. Certain regula
tions appear to be essential if class finances are to remain stable.
Most of all, class committeemen need to -acquire a strong sense of
responsibility to their constituents in handling the large amounts
of funds left to their care. I

rial regularly is beyond their realm
of activity.
Graham Memorial is simply in the
wrong place. Magill recommends that
another student union be built in
some more ideally located site. We
agree with him, and add that in back
of Manning hall near Emerson field
might be a fine spot. But, what of

now gone the way of grim war prep

To the energetic new director, who
will be appointed before next week is

the Board of Directors has tossed him
into. The only possible solution might
be that the director not only make his
new abode doubly attractive, but that
he go out and slug a few hundred stu-1
dents a day, prop them up in the main
lounge, and make the student body get

Savitt Plays Today
For Luncheon Dance
At Chi Phi Party
Chi Phi's annual house party taking
place this weekend will be featured by
a luncheon dance today to the music
of Jan Savitt and his orchestra. Other
highlights of the house party will be
a picnic before the tea-dance today
and a banquet afterwards.
Chi Phi alumni from the southern
states will be on hand for the banquet,
and alumnus Roy Armstrong will be
toastmaster.
Among the houseguests for the
weekend are: Miss Marian Igo, of
Youngstown, O., with house president
Alfred Bob Sloan; Miss Hilda Gae
Renegar, of Mount Airy, with Bill
Swink, vice-president; Miss Alice Kil
